If a written complaint is filed with the Village Clerk alleging a food vendor has violated the provisions of this subchapter, the Village Clerk shall promptly send a copy of the written complaint to the vendor together with a notice that an investigation will be made as to the truth of the complaint. The vendor shall be invited to respond to the complaint and present evidence and respond to evidence produced by the investigation. If the Village Clerk, after reviewing all relevant material, finds the complaint to be supported by a preponderance of the evidence, the complaint shall be certified. If a license is denied or revoked by the Village Clerk, or if a written complaint is certified pursuant to this subchapter, the applicant or holder of a license may appeal to and have a hearing before the Village Council. The Village Council shall make a written determination, after presentation by the applicant and investigation by the Village Clerk, as to whether or not the grounds for denial, revocation or complaint are true. If the Village Council determines that such grounds are supported by a preponderance of the evidence, the action of Village Clerk or filing of the complaint shall be sustained and the applicant may appeal the Village Council's decision to a court of competent jurisdiction.
